There are a total of 18 Packpickers this week who chose 31 different players.
I thought this was a particularly difficult contest to pick. I had an instinct there would be ladies near the top of the leaderboard who weren't up there very often. But on whom to I take the chance on? So like most of us, I went with the usual suspects with one or two outliers.
Wouldn't you know, 10 of the 31 players chosen missed the cut with the biggest disappointment being young Brooke Henderson whom all 18 contestants chose. Sei Young Kim was right behind with 17 picks. Na Yeon Choi was next with 9 picks.
Steady Lydia Ko was a unanimous pick as was So Yeon Ryu. Ariya and Stacy garnered 17 picks, In Gee Chun and Minjee Lee 16.
In addition to GDSmyth, LPGAIreland of the MyLPGA board chose a player not in the field. He had Charley Hull for his second pick. So his picks shifted up with Recari in slot no. 12. But he puts his trust in Morgan Pressel and that helped put him in the lead after the first round.
There was a big group of golfers tied for third with only Ryu and Minjee picked by most. Those that picked either Pressel or Ciganda got into the top four with three correct picks. Except Dennis as he picked Ciganda but not Minjee.
